[What You Can Do with the App]

■Easy backup to SSDs, USB flash drives, and SD cards

Simply open the app and connect an SSD, USB flash drive, or card reader to automatically start backups. Easily back up your photos and videos while preserving their original data.

■Incremental backups from the second time onwards

Newly added photos and videos are automatically detected, reducing backup times from the second time onwards.

■ View Photos and Videos

You can view your backed-up photos and videos via the app by connecting an SSD, USB memory, or card reader.

■ Restore All or Selected

If important photos or videos disappear from your Android device, you can restore them all from your storage. You can also restore selected photos and videos that you temporarily deleted to free up space.

■ Supports Photos and Videos Stored on Internal SD Cards

You can also back up photos and videos stored on the internal SD card inserted in your Android device.

■ Multiple Storage Devices for Even More Peace of Mind

The app now remembers the backup status of each storage device, allowing you to back up to multiple USB storage devices. Backing up photos and videos to two or more storage devices further reduces the risk of data loss (＊3). Even if you delete photos or videos from your Android device to free up space, having multiple backups provides peace of mind.

＊1 When deleting photos and videos from your Android device, we recommend backing them up to two or more storage devices just in case.

＊2 According to a 2024 BCN survey.

＊3 The app can store information for up to 10 storage devices.
